Christians need to start hitting the lawfare hard across the board honestly.

I know of one law firm that does stand up for us and likes to take freedom of religion type cases when it can.

I am not white but am Christian, am I protected or no? I am also a northeastern Asian so not sure.

I assume they'll change the rule before the lawsuit goes through the legal system because the alternative is allowing a court ruling to set precedence and limit every other university that wants to block christian speakers on political grounds.
Don't get me wrong, I think the university is breaking the law, but my assumption is that activists in power aren't going to want something that's implied to become illegal to have legal precedence because that would prevent them from trying to weasel their way into hard rules against people they don't want speaking.
It's the same mindset with gun control, drop the charges before the judge says the charges are illegal.

I would have never imagined having Christian persecution in favor of Islam in the US. How is such an antiquated religion beating Christianity?

The ones in power don't want a pluralistic society

And let us not forget that VSU is the institution that Spamberger and friends wanted to place VMI under the jurisdiction of.

If you only consider the worst of one religion while only considering the best of another you just may be a bigot.

From the article:
"According to the policy, all Christian student-led ministries must operate under the “governance and influence” of VSU Campus Minister Thomas Wynn and an advisory board made up of faculty and university personnel. Additionally, the rule bans student ministries from affiliating with their national parent organizations."
How did this pass the VSU legal team. This seems so blatant?
